San Jose Shoppers is a watercolor scene of a San Jose street. It’s an interesting scene, due to the tension created by the motion of the mother and daughter, the fast-walking couple on the right, and the man in the middle coming towards the viewer. It was included in a juried show in Hopkins, Minnesota in September-October 2011. This is a scene I photographed in November 2010, when I visited Costa Rica for two weeks. I spent two days people watching in the largest city and capitol, San Jose, which is always full of interesting people and children.
